53 Hungarian M44

It pays to scan the auctions, you never know when a seller has no idea what he has. Listed as a 1953 Russian M44, opening bid $150.00, even with the 2 bad pics he posted you could tell it was an 02, and he said it was number matching, so for a buck and a half there wasn't much risk in throwing out the opening bid. Well the seller was right, all 02 marked, all matching and the bore is mint.

Another good one. Thanks for showing it. I wonder what you will turn up next in the Mosin family.
Regards
Peter.

Another good one, as Peter said. I'd bet the way the tribe is multiplying the next addition, sooner or later, will have to be more room to store them.
